Stilts originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. They were called "stilt skills" in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, "stepping bridges" in the Song Dynasty, and gradually evolved to "stilts" (also called high-foot lanterns) in the Qing Dynasty. The "Qionglai County Chronicles" records: During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, due to the prevalence of Buddhism and the prosperity of temples, the stilt performances in Jiaguan appeared in folk activities such as Gaoganhui, platform meetings, and hanging lanterns (making wishes), mostly in the form of ghosts and gods. It is said that during the heyday of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Buddhism was prevalent in my country and temples were flourishing. At that time, stilt lanterns, flipping golden buckets and various movements appeared. They do not appear alone in the welcoming god competitions, but generally play the role of ghosts and gods in Gaoganhui, platform meetings, and hanging lanterns (making wishes), and gradually evolved later. Things change over time, and in 1920, Jiaguan held the "March 28" temple fair. This time of year is the meeting period. Farmers who have prepared for spring plowing often go out with their families and form groups to attend the fair. In the thanksgiving meeting, "stilt lanterns", stilts playing gold fighting, climbing Mount Wutai, climbing high poles, and singing on stilts have become the main and indispensable content of the welcoming god competition. At the same time, it has played a great role in promoting local material and cultural exchanges. After liberation, the old was broken and the new was established. This kind of temple fair and the old folk traditional culture were denied. In the Cultural Revolution in 1966, a group of artists from Wangdian Village innovated and reorganized it, and the original limbs of 1 foot were raised to more than 1 meter, and they were dressed up as modern characters to perform "Red Lantern", "Sha Jiabang", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and other repertoires. In 1979, a cultural station was established in Jiaguan. The station staff and folk artists excavated and sorted out the rich and colorful folk cultural treasures, enriched the cultural life of the local people, restored the traditional "March 28th" temple fair before liberation, and renamed it "March 28th Folk Culture and Art Festival". The Jiaguan stilt team was reorganized and the performance content was innovated, which has been passed down to this day. It participated in the first spring lantern show in Qionglai City and won the "Special Award". It participated in the first and the first and second folk art festivals in Chengdu and won the "Organization Award" and "Performance Award". It participated in the Chinese dance "Autumn in Chengdu" folk art makeup performance and won the praise of the Chengdu audience. It participated in the 93 International Panda Festival and the 97 International Kite Festival, and was praised by leaders from all walks of life and welcomed by Chinese and foreign audiences. In the past, stilt lanterns generally appeared in local welcoming competitions, mainly playing the role of ghosts and gods. According to legend, it can drive away demons, pray for rain, and protect the area. In today's performances, it is mainly used to enrich and enliven the cultural life of the masses. Through innovation, the main performance is to whistle one-two-one, one-two-one and Yangko rhythm as the performance steps. Stilts are difficult to perform because of their high limbs. During the performance, they have to wear heavier drama costumes and hold heavier performance props in their hands. They also have to perform to the rhythm of gongs, drums, whistles, and Yangko steps. The movements must be coordinated and the steps must be consistent. It is a more difficult performing art. Over the long years, Jiaguan Stilts has formed a unique local style. As a folk dance form that reflects local folk customs and local culture, it has participated in the first and second Chengdu Folk Art Festivals and won the "Organization Award" and "Performance Award". Participated in the Chinese dance "Autumn in Chengdu" folk art makeup performance and won the praise of the Chengdu audience. Participated in the "93 International Panda Festival" and "97 International Kite Festival" in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, and received praise from leaders from all walks of life and welcome from Chinese and foreign audiences. In 1998, Jiaguan Town was named the hometown of stilts and the hometown of Sichuan Province's characteristic culture.
